Security: In my view this is a failure of sign out security in 2 steps

Reported by mail4j...@gmail.com, Nov 29 2017

Issue description


VULNERABILITY DETAILS
This involves 2 bugs in my view:
1) When Chrome tab is closed on my mobile it will not sign me out of my google account.

2) When google account os removed from Settings of my mobile, it will not sign me out of my account.

Thus even if a user performs both the above steps(1 and 2), the user will not be signed out of his Google account on my mobile.

VERSION
62 
detalils are on the screenshot attached.

REPRODUCTION CASE
Since this involves the login details of my account, I have not provided any additional html files for reproducing the bug.

To make sure I understand correctly: Is it the case that you sign into your Google account in Android, and then you are automatically signed into Google services in Chrome as well? Or, do you sign into your Google account in Android and then again in Chrome?

Problem (2) suggests to me it's the latter case, but I'm not sure. If it is the latter case, you might find that Incognito mode meets your requirements in problem (1).

In any case, using the Sign Out button in a Google service in Chrome should work to log you out of your account from Chrome's perspective.

From the report it sounds to me like signing out in Android settings (Settings>Users & Accounts>Remove Account) isn't signing out of Chrome as well. But I might be misinterpreting the report.

mail4jans@ could you confirm the precise steps to reproduce the problem.

+1 to precise repro steps. Removing your account from the OS should in fact sign you out of Chrome. At least, that was the behavior the last time I tried it out.
mail4jans: are you able to provide more details? If not we will have to close this due to a lack of information.
